2014 Hyundai Tucson

This is a 2014 Hyundai Tucson Limited which ended up needing to have a full paint correction done on it. This has been taken care of with Swissvax from day one. The owner is very meticulous. It gets washed with Optimum No Rinse every 2 weeks without fail. She has a Concours High End Detail done on it every 3 months. Which for a Hyundai Tucson Limited, typically, is not done very often.



She had taken it into the local Hyundai dealer for just a normal oil change. That is when the fiasco started. After making an appointment a week earlier she still had to wait more than 2 hours for a normal oil change. She told the services manager at the dealership DO NOT wash the vehicle, no matter what.

Because she had to wait so long for the oil change, they washed it anyway. In doing so, the detailer apparently had not changed the soap water in their wash bucket from the previous cars, and put brush scratches in the paint. The scratches covered both sides of the vehicle from front to the back.

In order to fix this I had to do a full paint correction on it. Since from day one we had used Swissvax products on it that is what I used to correct the now heavily scratched paint. I started by using detailers clay to remove any top surface contaminates that were left by the dirty soap water and brush. By using my various tools for paint correcting, I was able to use Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Medium, which had to be worked into the paint to eliminate the scratches. When this process is done, the paint must then be polished to bring back the brilliance of the paint’s color. Then finally I finished by applying Swissvax Mirrage by hand.

It was 3 stages of prep and finished off with Swissvax Mirrage wax. You can see by the pictures that the Hyundai paint responds very well to a very nice high quality service
